Love watching you two💝Peace
Imagine carrying a injured soldier buddy on your shoulders: He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.
BrosReact0151 it’s a harmonica.
This is very cute because two brothers are reacting to he ain't heavy, he's my brother LOL That's why Sam was poking fun at Zack .. which led to all the giggles then the apology LOL I mean how cuter can you both get!!!!
The song is about the brotherhood of man. Everyone helping everyone with love for all. Beautiful lyrics and harmonies for the fabulous Hollies.
Where the term “He ain’t heavy, … he’s my brother.” came from >>>>> "Those iconic words have symbolized the spirit of Boys Town for decades. But many people don’t know how it originated. Back in 1918, a boy named Howard Loomis was abandoned by his mother at Father Flanagan’s Home for Boys in Omaha, Nebraska, which had opened just a year earlier. Howard had polio and wore heavy leg braces. Walking was difficult for him, especially when he had to go up or down steps.Soon, several of the Home’s older boys were carrying Howard up and down the stairs. One day, Father Flanagan asked Reuben Granger, one of those older boys, if carrying Howard was hard.Reuben replied, “He ain’t heavy, Father… he’s my brother.” But the story doesn’t end there. In 1943, Father Flanagan was paging through a copy of Ideal magazine when he saw an image of an older boy carrying a younger boy on his back. The caption read, “He ain’t heavy, mister… he’s my brother.” Immediately, the priest was reminded of a photo of Reuben carrying Howard at a Boys Town picnic many years before. Father Flanagan wrote to the magazine and requested permission to use the image and quote. The magazine agreed, and Boys Town adopted them both to define its new brand.Nearly 75 years later, the motto is still the best description of what our boys and girls at Boys Town learn about the importance of caring for each other and having someone care about them.“He ain’t heavy” is relevant beyond Boys Town, though. At some point in our lives, most of us have needed to be carried by someone, metaphorically speaking. And, at some point, we probably carried somebody else. We’re human. We stumble. And we look to each other for help when we do".
There is a statue in a world famous boy orphanage called "Boy Town" in the state of Nebraska in the United States. Of a young boy on the back of another boy giving him a piggy back ride.
The story goes when a priest comes up to the boy who was carrying a boy who was disabled. The priest asked him if he can lend him a hand in carrying the boy?...The boy replied " Its okay father 'He ain't heavy he's my brother.' This is a true story... It became so famous that a stamp was made, and a statue. And now a song. Sung beautifully here by the Hollies. Priceless!
Truth be told...He ain't heavy,he's my brother,beautiful words
It's not about his brother but the brotherhood of all men we shouldn't fight we should help each other. People would rather watch people starve to death than giving free food for them to eat. It's all about money and not about mercy.
I've been listening to this song for my whole life (48 years) and it still makes me a little misty-eyed when I hear it.
Hello lads few years ago Liverpool and Everton got together and sang this song for the 96 that died in the hillsborough look it up it got to number 1 in the uk two football teams come together in one amazing city this song now touches the hearts of Liverpool and Everton fans in are amazing city LIVERPOOL beautiful 💙
A while back I saw picture of a 10 year old boy in the under developed country carrying his eight year old brother on this back. He had far to walk. Someone asked him "He must be heavy" The other brother replied :He is not heavy, he's my brother. When you love someone, it gives you the strength you need to carry on to help them. Love can carries you through anything.
Have you heard them singing "The air that I breath" ? All time classic still played a lot today.
His brother is his fellow man - it is a Christian thought - that we are all brothers and sisters with God as our father. When your fellow man needs help, give it to him because he is your brother. That is what the song is about - caring for your fellow man.
In fact, the song is about humans caring for one another...That we all, in fact, are brothers and sisters or some derivation of such.
@@EaterOfBaconSandwiches God is not a fictional character. You know it. Be serious. You sound like a small child begging for attention from the grown ups saying silly things like that.
Stop interrupting, messing about and listen, this is the golden era!
Yes The Hollies are an English band. And this is a song about the world being brothers and supporting one another and sharing along the way.
I know here in America this song came out during the Vietnam war and a lot of the soldiers, including my dad, considered their platoon members as brothers. You could also see pictures of the boys in battle matched up with this song in what we used to call videos. As for me myself, my sister and I played this for my brother after he committed suicide.
Can you even understand what they're saying? I'm British and I'm having trouble. Very sorry about your brother. xxx
The saying “He ain’t heavy Father, he’s m’ brother” was originally associated with Father Flanagan’s Boys Town located in Nebraska in 1917 which was a refuge for orphan boys during that period. There is a sculpture of a boy carrying his sleeping brother. He carried his brother all the way to Boys Town to join Father Flanagan
Thank you for sharing that... so sad...
The song is a call to be socially responsible and charitable. The Brother is anyone.
Exactly.
My brothers are dead. When i hear this song it is hard to not tear up a little. My brothers were not so easy to understand, but at the end of the day I did love them. They weren't heavy. They were my brothers!
I feel sorry for the young generation. They are SO surprised at the music that my generation almost took for granted. I think the standard of performance was so high when I was young that the extraordinary was ordinary, simply because we didn't know anything other than good. And now these young guys hear this music from my youth and they are amazed because they have nothing that comes even remotely close to its high quality from their own generation.
I totally agree
"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" describes a stronger person, either emotionally or physically who uncomplainingly provides support for someone, may be a brother or maybe just a friend or even an acquaintance who is finding it more difficult to make the same journey. The singer's only complaint is that not everyone is prepared to make the same compromises.
thanks spanisheyes for requesting this
The title came from the motto for Boys Town, a community formed in 1917 by a Catholic priest named Father Edward Flanagan. Located in Omaha, Nebraska, it was a place where troubled or homeless boys could come for help. In 1941, Father Flanagan was looking at a magazine called The Messenger when he came across a drawing of a boy carrying a younger boy on his back, with the caption, "He ain't heavy Mr., he's my brother." Father Flanagan thought the image and phrase captured the spirit of Boys Town, so he got permission and commissioned a statue of the drawing with the inscription, "He ain't heavy Father, he's my brother."
They had more top ten British hits than anyone else except the Beatles.
This song is beautiful. The Hollies are an underrated band.
And the two guys are thick.
This song was made during the Vietnam War. This wasn't a funny song; it was about the soldiers loyalty to each other and helping each other and literally carrying them when they were injured. This song was in movies like: " Rambo 3" and other movies about the Vietnam War.
Another Hollies song you should check out is The Air That I Breathe
That is one amazing song!
That's where Radiohead got the chords for Creep.
I remember watching a BBC documentary about the Hollies and ALAN CLARKE , the lead singer of this song said he saw 2 boys playing outside one day and the smaller boy was carrying a larger boy on his back and Alan jokingly asked the smaller one if he was ok and he replied “ he’s not heavy he’s my brother “ and later Alan realised this could be interpreted as a profound statement for humanity ❤️ love from Yorkshire X
This song is as true today as when it was made. We are all brothers and sisters. It don't take much to help somebody the meaning of this song
It really is one of those songs that just works. It's simple but so meaningful. True and pure magical songwriting, done very well.
It's not his actual brother! He's saying mankind is his brother and you should help your fellow man with gladness when times are tough.
When I graduated from the fire academy this song played in a video showing us going through a burning house, it was great.
This song was for all of humankind to help each other
What a great song with a great message, excellent vocals.
"Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress."
Gotta love the Hollie's!
You must check out "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)" by The Hollies. And as always I say this for your benefit not mine. If I want to hear it I can lol
Top of the pops started in 1964. In a old church on Dickinson Road Longsight Manchester. The Hollies are a Manchester band.
All men are brothers is the point. This is 1970 during the Vietnam War. Antiwar/Civil Rights message.
The 'brother' referred to is anyone who needs help. Love the hairstyles from that era, I was 6 years old when they came out with this one. I had hair like that as soon as I escaped from my mother's idea of what a hairstyle should be lol Wish I had some of that left now!
Long Cool Woman by The Hollies❣️
The Hollies came from the Salford/Manchester area. They were also on the very first Top of the Pops in 1964.
This was a delight.
As we raise our vibration we help the collective raise theirs.
WWGOWGA
We all need each other It doesn’t matter race color or creed Love your brother Carry someone and their burden if need be we all need love
Checkout The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe
My daughter sang this song to her brother with Williams Syndrome and Autism on her wedding day. There was not a dry eye in the place.
the hollies are from manchester and alan clarke has one of the great voices from the 70s - their other songs "long tall woman in a black dress" and "the air that I breathe" are the classic hollies songs - check them out
The phrase He Ain’t Heavy, he’s my brother “ was part of a logo for Boy’s Town, a charitable organization dedicated to helping orphaned boys. It featured a boy carrying a younger boy on his back with the caption, He Ain’t Heavy,, He’s My Brother. It epitomized the organization’s belief in all residents helping each other and having someone care about them.
The logo inspired this song.
Eleanor Roosevelt :
THEIR, welfare, is our concern.
and, God Bless her for that....!!
Sometimes you have to just sit and listen to the music and the lyrics.
Great song!!! Haven’t heard it in a long time, since my younger days.
This song is forever. Thanks.
I have loved this song for 45 years or more. It still brings tears to my eyes.
It is such a powerful expression of the love we all need for our fellow humans in the Brotherhood of Man(kind).
Reach out to those in need of help, care for those who need a little love in this cold world.
Treat others how you would want them to treat you.
Is that too much to ask? It seems pretty simple to me.
Maybe I'm getting soft as I get older; but believe me, when I wore a younger man's clothes I was hard as nails.
What did that kind of perspective get me? Nothing good I'll tell you that much.
So, you know, just try to be a little kinder to each other.
This is one of my favorite bands from this era. They're from Manchester / Salford, so not far from Liverpool. Their other music is well worth listening to.
1969..part of the British invasion , right up there with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bee Gees and more..I still have my vinyls and 45's from the 60's and 70's... awesome group. and Alan Clarke still is an amazing singer. You really need to listen to Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress, Bus Stop and more from the Hollies.
The instrument you are having trouble identifying is a harmonica, played by the lead singer.
I love this song.
It's a harmonica and they are singing about your fellow man.
OMG you boys are hilarious 😂 Yes The Hollies are English.
Perfect for these times.
you guys didn't understand what he was singing about. if you did you wouldn't or shouldn't be laughing.
That's not a flute guys, that's a harmonica. TOTP's ran from the beginning of January 1964 to the end of July 2006. The Hollies were Manchester's answer to The Beatles. They're still touring but the current band only has 2 of the original line-up. This song wasn't written by anyone in the band, but they certainly made it their own.
Love one another and share it. The world would be a lot better.
It's in regards to the Vietnam War
@cosmicVox13 oh! That's what I've always been told. What is it in regards to?
@cosmicVox13 👍👍👍
Top of the Pops first episode was January 1, 1964. Thank you for doing the Hollies.
This band was well up their with the best of them and heads above. So many great songs, an amazing lead singer, drummer and lead guitarist. They were from Manchester, they only ever had 1 session musician and the guy who played the piano on this song was Elton john! They paid him £15. The song was found by Tony Hicks their lead guitarist,
It was number 1 in 1969 and number 1 again in 1988. The clip here is from the Tom Jones show.
Yep. They are from the UK. I love The Hollies. I know what you mean.
Was just a kid then but I remember well how good this band was. The word heavy had several interpretations. We used it as saying something was awesome but this was obviously about helping a friend regardless of his problems. ✌️
Boys I'm an o.a.p if I had the money to donate to anything I would give it to everyone. That's probably why I'm always broke And this government doesn't give a s--t about anyone let alone pensioners! Thank's boys for entertaining me during this difficult time. Keep safe! x
You two are insane!
I saw them live twice, amazing. Listen to the drummer in this, they had a great drummer. Clark had a great voice.
Boy's Town Nebraska, the statue of a boy carrying a smaller boy on his back. The caption reads "He ain't heavy he's my brother". The story goes that a boy showed up at Boy's Town in the 1930's during a snow storm . Father Flanagan not realizing that it was a smaller boy on his back started taking off the blanks he was wrapped in and was shocked at what he found. The older brother then made that now famous statement. I don't know if this factual or not but it should be!
Titan500J With respect , I don’t think the Hollies who were ordinary working class young men way back then would have even heard of Nebraska x
@@1950kath It was in a famous movie called Boys Town they probably saw it almost everyone did!
Listen to the Hollies...the air that i breathe! 💖
He sings of humanity and our responsibility to each other.
"Who is my neighbour?" The parable of the Good Samaritan.
I like your comments and appreciation for the Hollies music.
This is about UNITY!!
You need to interrupt the flow of the song more often.
It means the burden isnt "Heavy"
There is a very moving version by these lads on You Tube. It was on Noel Edmonds Christmas Gifts TV programme some years ago. A disabled man was being looked after by his brother and while they got him out of the house, The Hollies set up in his back garden and played this when he came home. Tears all round, mine included
His fellow man.
From the UK...brilliant band.
Top of the Pops started in 1964. According to Wikipedia, it's the longest running weekly music show in the world.
En el cielo eres mi hermano
Bello recuerdo esa canción yo tenía 8años
LONG DARK ROAD is one of the best songs ever! By The Hollies.
The Hollies were a british band and very wierd even for thier day.
Legend has it Graham Nash was walking through a park when he saw one kid carrying another that hurt his leg, and when an adult asked if they needed help, Graham overheard the kid reply with "he ain't heavy, he's my brother" and the rest is history.....
Heavy is a slang term used during this time. It doesn't mean weight, unless hes carrying a fellow soldier. I don't remember what heavy meant.
meow98 Wow that’s heavy. Meaning that’s deep, serious, intense
It's not a slang term. It's about a young boy carrying his brother who had polio and been abandoned at a boys home back in 1918 and a priest asked the boy if he's heavy, which the boy replied he isn't heavy father, he's my brother. Now the meaning is metaphorical, pain doesn't matter when it's for people you love.
Now react to their song The Air that I Breathe. You won't be disappointed.
I saw the first ever TOTP in 1964 from Manchester the same year as the first Match Of The Day so a longgggg time ago.
Anyway I have to go as I am meeting this chick soon as she is PENG MAN !
Song about charity.
Hollies had many hits. I think as a British group, second only to the Beatles in the 60s.
The Stones were second to the Beatles
Not flute...it is a harmonica
Not a flute, it's a harmonica
One of my all time favorites . This is a song from the Bible . Jesus is telling a parable .About the good Samaritin ....LOOK IT UP IN THE BIBLE ...Then listen to this song ....
I didn't know Jesus sang !
@@ebantink4843 He probably did . But the lyrics to this song are representative of the story of the Good Samaritan ' parable ' that Jesus taught ! The Jews sang scripture as a matter of fact .....FYI
@@johannacannata1090 good, I prefer my parables sang !
1964 - Top of the Pops is first broadcast from Manchester on new year's day, presented by Jimmy Savile. Acts featured include The Rolling Stones and Dusty Springfield, with a filmed contribution from the week's number one act, The Beatles, with I Want to Hold Your Hand. The show goes out at 6.30pm on Wednesdays.
You should check out moody blues "ride my see-saw"
Good to see you guys having a laugh, as well as giving us some thoughtful comments. Some other reviewers can get too reverential just in case they might get negative comments, but you lads are being honest. Keep up the good work.
This music is wasted on you, stop messing about, if the guy your looking at was with you he'd reach for the off button, your generation is the hip hop, enough said! This is 1 of 2 massive hits the Hollies had!
A wakeup call. Just remember that sometimes when you do a reaction video, it could be incredibly personal to a viewer. In 1987 I was stabbed by my brother 5 times. Died twice on the table: was in a coma for 8 1/2 days. He did 10 years and came out a vegetable. I am closer to him than all of my siblings. Serious back story. This song for him.
What a shining example of a good human being you are sir! You have added to the planets' store of kindness and forgiveness.
Top of the pops was first broadcast on January 1st 1964, I watched it with my mum
I agree with your interpretation of heavy, right on.
Part of the British invasion. Another band along those lines is the Animals.
There are more important examples.
@@williamjordan5554 how does that matter. Both bands are part of the British invasion
I think Top of the Pops began sometime in the 1960s during the British music invasion.
This song is about Vietnam and a soldiers battle buddy. In the states I've seen k-9 cops use it for their partner. But yeah it's a soldiers song
I need subtitles to understand u guys...lol
